J'ai postulé via un recruteur. Le processus a pris 5 jours. J'ai passé un entretien chez Roku en avr. 2025
Entretien
I have interviewed for two different roles so I went through the same interview twice and failed both. After an initial call with the recruiter they booked two technical tests and the format is everything you wouldn't want to go through: live coding on HackerRank on a purely algorithmic exercise. The kind of test that will make you look incredibly smart if you get the initial inspiration (assuming you manage to code something decent on an online IDE without access to your shortcuts or documentation) or incredibly stupid if you get stuck. It doesn't prove you can code or do the job whether you pass it or not. On the second one the interviewer was also completely not interested in what I was doing, turning off his video and going completely on mute for several minutes. No feedback of any sort has been provided and not heard anything at all from the recruiters either.

Question 1
What's an abstract class? How do you implement security on your endpoints?

Entretien
Talk with Recruiter, tech talk and Hackerrank with Engineer. Engineer interviewer offered little feedback during an implementation discussion. I justified my selection as being best for a time-constrained interview and he agreed. The interviewer was playing around in my code editor while I was typing, causing distractions and additional errors in my work. Finally, the interviewer was extremely dissatisfied that I did not use the other option that I had discussed, and that I did not select Python when I was told to solve in any language.

Recruiter called me and asked some general questions related to work experience, tech stacks etc. Later they asked about renumeration drawn from the current org: to which I responded saying 'need to check with HR regarding any NDA if they have pertaining to salary disclosure'. I also felt current renumeration being irrelavent question for next role and asked what's the comp. band that this role is entitled to. To which recruiter told without current comp. info, they won't be able to proceed further and rejected on spot.

Question 1
Familarity with tech stack, work experience and salary.
I had recruiters from Roku reach out the whole year. I finally agreed to do a call. I had an initial call with a recruiter where we just talked about my past experience and what I’m looking for. Then I was scheduled for the next round with the hiring manager and was given zero context on what to expect despite asking. You should know that there be will coding with OOP on your first call with the HM despite no one saying anything about it. The whole thing was silly and pointless.

Question 1
The hiring manager asked me to do an OOP solution for a warehouse inventory system, where you need to track the type and amount of a product and find the nearest warehouse with products the customer is looking for. Despite this being an OOP and you being able to implement it in TypeScript or any language, and despite the HM not mentioning, your solution needs to handle concurrency and have locking. Then you’ll be asked what you’d do differently in a production environment. You’ll need to state the obvious like writing tests, using a DB, distributed locking etc. The way they asked the question was very silly and assessed nothing.
